Genesis 46:32-34

The Voice

³² The men are shepherds. They make their living by keeping livestock, and they’ve brought their flocks and herds and all of their belongings.” ³³ When Pharaoh calls you to the court and asks your occupation, ³⁴ tell him, “Your servants keep livestock. We start in the family business when we are just boys. That is what we and our ancestors have always done.” That way, you’ll be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen because Egyptians can’t stand to be around shepherds.
